Just what the Dockter ordered – almost

Darn kid. He just doesn’t listen. As Friday night’s opening kickoff went soaring through the air, Central McLean coach Kevin Dockter could be heard muttering to himself, “catch the ball.” Senior Aaron Morman, playing deep for the Cougars on the kickoff, didn’t catch it. It bounced before he picked it up. But then he proceeded to bob and weave his way 80 yards for a touchdown off the opening kickoff. Darn kid. It wasn’t quite what the Dockter ordered, but the veteran coach will probably forgive him for this one. The Cougars went on to rout the visiting Hettinger-Scranton Night Hawks by the score of 56-22, all of the Cougars’ points coming in the first half. “Yeah, he kind of bobbled it,” laughed Dockter, regarding the missed catch. But, he added. “Aaron had just an unbelievable game.” In addition to the kickoff return for a score, Morman also rushed for a touchdown and passed for three.
